TERRO T500SR Indoor Multi-Surface Roach Bait Stations - Indoor Roach Killer, 12 Bait Stations, Black

Came to these from The Wirecutter's review. This thinned my apartment's cockroach population dramatically. I had been having several cockroaches show up every night in various placed for several weeks, and these killed most of them very quickly. I've been getting up after six hours of sleep regularly to go pee, and I had gotten in the habit of turning on a dim light and grabbing my salt shotgun and shooting them for a while before going back to bed. Removing the cockroaches from my apartment has improved my sleep dramatically. A few recommendations for use: - Buy twice as many as you think need. You'll end up wanting to cover more rooms, or to cover each room more thoroughly. Cockroaches tend to find safe habitats and scavenge for food around just that habitat, so you need to put traps where they'll find them when foraging. - The adhesive is not great. I've left them directly on my floor, but the traps are small enough that I don't notice them. - Cockroaches /do/ migrate sometimes, so be warned that they might have expanded to places that you haven't trapped yet. I didn't know that they had migrated to my bedroom, so I needed to add more traps there. When a cockroach dies, I've been just vacuuming it up with the wand from my vacuum cleaner. Also be careful to look for and vacuum up egg sacs (small black pellets). I had to switch from eating black beans to eating pinto beans during my cockroach problem to simplify sac identification. When a cockroach is poisoned, it can tend to wander around slowly like a drunk little bug. It took a full week for my cockroaches to explore my apartment and see all the traps. Many found the traps during the first night and died, but not all. It took me a few days to find the ones in my bedroom, so that delayed the end of the infestation. My cockroaches only come out at night. When I notice a cockroach, I grab my fly-swatter salt shotgun and shoot it. Cockroaches can sense and avoid big things coming after them, but they don't understand salt grain shots. They don't react to noise, so if the gun discharges but doesn't hit them, they don't move. The pain from the pellets (but only the pain) makes them freak out and run. Their evasion patterns are erratic because they assume that there's a predator they don't understand. I refuse to put these on my kitchen countertops, so the only bugs that I see now are the bugs whose scavenging grounds are my kitchen countertops.

Update: worked well and ran out after a little over 3 months so I bought a competitors version that was on sale. And the other traps didn’t work as well. I’m going to stick to these ones. I was skeptical these would work but I’ve used the same brand’s ant traps before which worked very well so I thought I’d give it a try. I live in a tropical climate, and once a month a ginormous roach will appear in the house to say hi. I scream. Whole family freaks out. It’s a mess. I got these to try and put one or two in the corner of EVERY room and bathroom. Now, every couple weeks I will find a slow moving smaller roach that obviously ate the bait, or a ded one. I haven’t had any more giant ones scare the living daylights out of me since I got these. Highly recommend.

I don’t have a roach problem, but I like to use these as a preventive measure just in case. The adhesive backing makes them super easy to stick under sinks and behind furniture. I love that they can go on walls or flat surfaces without being messy. I can’t say how well they work for a full infestation, but for peace of mind and prevention, they’re perfect. The clear top is a nice touch too, you can actually see if anything’s been caught.

So, have you ever bought a fancy cockroach trap? These are the fanciest cockroach traps I have ever used. They feel fancy in their little packaging. They come with adhesive tape, allowing you to conceal them wherever you want. Finally, I feel like I've mastered my roach-killing game. There's not much to say about these; they're incredibly sturdy and well-built, which is unusual for a roach trap. They have no smell at all. Plus, they're great because they can be hidden just about anywhere, thanks to the four pieces of included double-sided foam tape. Would I recommend these? Yeah, absolutely. They're really, really effective. Roach bait stations. I'm still seeing roaches, but more dead ones than live, which I guess is a good sign. We'll see, and I'll update this review as I continue to use the product. But so far, so good.

For several years I have kept liquid roach bait in the cabinets where I know the roaches visit in our home. I rarely saw any roach poop. I put these up and no bait disappeared, but poop did appear :( I put the liquid back in and no more poop. We have large roaches ("Palmetto bugs"). I see some reviewers said these worked for large roaches, but not in my case. I will try removing the top as on reviewer mentioned.

I purchased the Multi-Surface Roach Bait and Traps, 6 pkg., from Amazon. I have rarely found anything as frustrating as trying to attach the adhesive strip to the back of the trap. Even precision coaxing with the edge of a razor blade could not separate the backing from the strip. What good is selling a product that touts as its innovative feature the ability to apply it to multi-surfaces when the strip has no way to adhere to the trap? Even better, what good is purchasing one?? Does adhesive age that quickly? As the option to apply the traps vertically was the reason I purchased Terro's product, I am very disappointed. It is difficult to hold any positive expectations of effectiveness with compromised placement.

التغليف والحجم والشكل رائع اشتريته لاني شفت صرصور صغير طالع في المطبخ بالليل إلى الان ماشفت صراصير طلعت ميتة وما أعرف إذا انتهت من المطبخ او لا لان غالبا المصيدة لما احطها أبدا اشوف حشرات ميته لكن نفس الشكرة جربت نوع الي للنمل وكانت ممتازة اختفت تماما

I have been using the product for three weeks. The cockroaches are dying in the bathroom, but their colonies are not being eradicated. Disappointed, especially since I purchased the product based on its rating.

Waste of money the product is not working as the cockroach will not enter and eat the poison if you put it in a place where there is other food resources (food spill and leftovers) the cockroach will not interested in the trap . This product will only work if there is no other food resource for the cockroach to ear from
